Do I have to be careful with the access port underneath my skin?
After your procedure, you will not have any activity restrictions because of the access port. It is placed under the skin (it is not visible) in the abdominal wall, and once the incisions have healed the access port should not cause discomfort or limit any physical exercise. The only sensation you may experience from the port occurs when you go in for adjustments. If you feel persistent discomfort in the port area, talk to your surgeon.
